Introduction
Performance management is one of the five network management categories defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO). Performance management has many subcategories and therefore consists of many variables. In general, the basic attributes for network performance are considered to be throughput, accuracy, efficiency, delay, response time, and line utilization. The goal of performance management is to establish minimum threshold levels for these variables that will ensure the network will meet client needs and customer service level agreements. Then, we need to measure and monitor these variables appropriately so that, if they fall below these target levels, the appropriate corrective action can be taken
Problem Statement
We must determine what frame size would be best to use in a medium scale network based on throughput.
Purpose of the Lab
To understand the use of different frame sizes within a network
Methodology:
Using IT Guru to perform experiments and determine what frame size :256, 512, 1024 would be best used for a network
Screen Shot
I decided to use this screenshot because as it was one of the final results used in the lab, this was the result graph that influenced my decision of what frame size would be best.
What have you learned from this lab?
I learned how to use and apply different frame sizes to a network and how to run the results for them. Besides the network information, I learned more efficiently how to duplicate scenarios within itguru and how to modify settings within networks.
Conclusion and Recommendations
1. How many total bits/sec for the network would you expect to be sent for the frame size of 256 bytes?
When using a frame size of 256 bytes the network would be expected to have a speed of 409,600 bps
2. How many total bits/sec for the network would you expect to be sent for the frame size of 512 bytes?
When using a frame size of 512
